Director, SAT Suite Instructional Strategy and Resource Systems
College Board - CRA
Location: This is a remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes.
Role Type: This is a full-time position
About the Team
The SAT Suite Program Access team leads the national strategy, implementation, and partner engagement efforts supporting states and districts administering the SAT Suite of Assessments. As digital transformation accelerates, our work increasingly centers on scalable systems, strong district partnerships, and effective implementation models that ensure every student benefits from high-quality assessment insights. The Program Access team will partner closely with the Partner Success team, who own the day-to-day relationships with state accountability contract customers, to determine the needs and provide scalable support of those states in addition to districts. As part of the K-12 SAT Suite Program Management & Partner Success team, we enable customer success, reinforce the value of the SAT Suite, and strengthen College Board’s partnership with critical customers.
About the Opportunity
The Director, SAT Suite Instructional Strategy & Resource Systems is responsible for defining how the SAT Suite translates into high-impact classroom practice at scale. You will own the instructional vision for national implementation - connecting assessment data to actionable teaching strategies and ensuring that every educator interaction with the SAT Suite is coherent, relevant, and effective. This role brings together Digital SAT, Skills Insight™, the Educator Question Bank, and state standards into a unified instructional ecosystem, enabling educators to move seamlessly from insight to action.
You will architect and lead scalable systems that ensure instructional resources are modular, high-quality, and continuously aligned to evolving product and enterprise priorities. Operating at the intersection of product, research, and program strategy, you will set the standard for instructional excellence - translating complexity into clarity and building durable systems that drive measurable impact.
Reporting to the Senior Director, SAT Suite Program Access & Instructional Impact, you will shape the instructional foundation that underpins national implementation, ensuring that every resource, tool, and touchpoint advances educator effectiveness and expands student opportunity.
In this role, you will:
Own Instructional Vision & Strategy (≈25%)
Define and drive a clear instructional vision that measurably improves how the SAT Suite shapes classroom practice across states and districts
Establish strategy to translate assessment insights into changes in instructional decision-making, teacher practice, and student outcomes
Ensure instructional strategy leads to increased adoption and effective use of SAT Suite data, particularly in historically underserved communities
Hold accountability for achieving a coherent educator experience that results in consistent, high-quality instructional implementation across contexts
Drive Adoption Through Scalable Instructional Systems (≈30%)
Own the end-to-end effectiveness of the SAT Suite instructional ecosystem, ensuring it drives meaningful educator action and sustained usage—not just resource availability
Design and refine systems that lead to differentiated but actionable implementation pathways, resulting in increased partner uptake and depth of use
Ensure systems enable educators to efficiently translate SAT data into instructional adjustments, improving instructional alignment and student readiness outcomes
Eliminate fragmentation by driving a unified system that increases usability, reduces friction, and leads to higher rates of educator engagement and repeat use
Own Quality Standards that Influence Instructional Practice (≈20%)
Define and uphold clear expectations so that instructional materials are consistently used to inform teaching decisions, rather than merely accessed.
Ensure all frameworks and resources directly support educator actions (e.g., planning, reteaching, differentiation) that improve student performance
Drive consistency and clarity across educator-facing materials so educators can reliably apply SAT insights without additional interpretation or support
Hold accountability for quality as measured by impact on instructional shifts, not just completion or distribution of materials
Lead Governance, Alignment, and Continuous Impact (≈25%)
Own outcomes related to the relevance, timeliness, and effectiveness of instructional materials, ensuring they drive partner action aligned to product and GTM priorities
Establish governance processes that enable faster, higher-quality decision-making and ensure materials lead to measurable improvements in partner implementation
Partner cross-functionally to ensure instructional systems influence product usage, field enablement, and partner success metrics—not operate as standalone resources
Ensure coherence across the ecosystem results in increased partner execution (e.g., aligned use of Digital SAT, Skills Insight™, Question Bank) and reduced duplication in practice
Use adoption data, educator behavior, and partner outcomes to continuously prioritize and drive the highest-impact improvements

Demonstrated experience building scalable instructional frameworks or resource systems and deep understanding of assessment-to-instruction alignment and data-informed teaching practices
